I'm away from home right now with no WiFi and am posting from my phone so I will keep this short, but I would like to thank everyone reading this for helping us get here! I've always said that whether you have ten posts or ten thousand posts, you have helped us get where we are today. This is everybody's celebration!

Thank you to all of you that have stuck with us.

I would like to say to all the lurkers, I hope you will take this opportunity to register and say hi, and take advantage of some of the great things we have planned this month. Step into the light and take a bow, because even you guys helped us get where we are.

And, for you members that have not been around for some time I hope you will come back to at least say hi and let us know how you are doing. We miss you guys.

To the Admin and Mod staff I'd like to say thank you for all your hard work, your effort and the parts of you that you have put in to help shape this forum into the amazing place it is.

Last but not least, all of you active members out there, what can I say? A forum is a very boring place indeed without active members talking about tools and flinging nonsense in every direction, and you guys fling like the dung is going out of style!

In my life, few things have lasted very long- growing up in a milit art family we moved a lot, and so I'd never actually had a home for ten years in my life- not until now anyway.

Thank you to all of you- its been great getting to know all of you over the last ten years, and I look forward to the next ten. And the ten after that.

That having been said, I'm way out in the sticks, so I will let the Mods kick off the festivities with the first giveaways.... should there be any this year....

"And now, it's time to hand this over to our tame race axe driver. Some say, he can live in the forest for six months at a time without food, and he knows of a secret tribe of only women where he is their God. All we know is, he's call the Styx!" - TazzieRob

Wow! Grant, congrats once again for creating this wonderful place we call our second home. Probably more like a first home to a lot of us (like you mentioned) since some of us spend more time here than with our actual families. I think of it as a privilege and a honor to be part of MTO and cannot see a end in sight. Thank you for having me and all the rest of us crazy tool people.
